Environmental and geomorphological drivers of frog diversity on islands worldwide

Ecography, EarlyView.
Island biogeography models primarily rely on island physical features and isolation to explain their biodiversity patterns. While newer models have incorporated functional traits to understand plant distribution, few empirical studies have tried to disentangle geometric constraints from niche‐based processes to predict multiple diversity facets of ...

Jumping spider (Araneae: Salticidae) diversity in the understory of the Argentinian Atlantic Forest

Caldasia, 2017
The Atlantic Forest is one of the key biodiversity hotspots in the world. Its understory can be dominated by species such as the native bamboo Chusquea ramosissima (tacuarembó), which can be an aggressive gap colonizer and change biotic and abiotic ...

Lagged responses in the composition of small mammal communities to a century of climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change has widespread effects on the distribution, abundance and behavior of species around the world, leading to the reshuffling of ecological communities. However, it remains unclear whether individual species' range shifts scale up to result in communities whose rate of change lag, lead, or track the rate of climate change. We capitalized on

Using biodiversity databases to assess vascular plant diversity in Protected Areas: a case study of Parque Estadual do Forno Grande, Brazil [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
The Parque Estadual do Forno Grande is a fully protected area in the southern Espírito Santo State, Brazil. It belongs to the Atlantic Forest domain, with predominantly dense, ombrophilous, seasonal semi-deciduous forests and herbaceous/shrubby ...

Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism

Cheia de axé (full of axé): Spirituality, resistance, and repair in Pernambuco's Afro‐Brazilian traditional communities

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores how Afro‐Brazilian communities in Pernambuco respond to state‐led industrial development through culturally rooted practices of resistance and repair. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research in the coastal municipalities of Cabo de Santo Agostinho and Ipojuca, this study traces the effects of Brazil's large‐scale ...

Polygenic risk score and prostate specific antigen predict death from prostate cancer in men with intermediate aggressive cancer

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Using 21 SNPs, two novel PRS were constructed and used to develop two new machine‐learning classifiers, one for the detection of prostate cancer and the other for the prediction of its aggressiveness and subsequent mortality. The classifier for disease detection is built using the PRS as the sole feature, whereas the one for disease ...

Compilation of woody species occurring in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest complex

Frontiers of Biogeography, 2015
The Atlantic Forest is a hotspot for biodiversity conservation because of its high levels of endemism and threatened areas. Three main forest types, differentiated by their floras, compose the Atlantic Forest: ‘Atlantic Forest’ sensu strictu, ‘Araucaria ...
